"Abdullah has divorced his wife while she was menstruating."

muslim:1471cMuḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr from my father > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

I divorced my wife during the lifetime of Messenger of Allah ﷺ when she was in the state of menses. 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) made a mention of it to Messenger of Allah ﷺ, whereupon he said: Command him to take her back and leave her (in that state) until she is purified. Then (let her) enter the period of second menses, and when she is purified, then divorce her (finally) before having a sexual intercourse with her, or retain her (finally). That is the 'Idda (the prescribed period) which Allah commanded (to be kept in view) while divorcing the women. 'Ubaidullah reported: I said to Nafi': What became of that divorce (pronounced within 'Idda)? He said: It was as one which she counted.

"Tell him to take her back until she menstruates again, then when she becomes pure, if he wants he may divorce her and if he wants he may keep her. This is the divorce that Allah has enjoined.
